Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bicycle handle.
  • bicycle grips For attachment of bicycle handles to bicycle handlebars, it is known that bicycle grips have an inner sleeve made of usually relatively hard material.
  • the inner sleeve is surrounded by a handle member of softer material, for example, overmolded.
  • the inner sleeve In an outer region of the bicycle handle, the inner sleeve is not surrounded by the grip element. In this area, the sleeve is surrounded by a clamp-like clamping element. Since the inner sleeve is slotted in the longitudinal direction, it is possible with the help of the clamping element to fix the bicycle handle by clamping on the handlebars.
  • EP 04 764 244.2 known to make the clamp-like clamping element externally such that the outside of the handle element steplessly merges into the clamping element and inasmuch as the clamping element when gripping the bicycle handle can be embraced with.
  • the clamping elements are arranged in the assembled state on the outside of the handlebar, this has the disadvantage, if the handle is gripped relatively far out that the palm is supported on the clamp made of hard material such as aluminum or another metal , This is particularly disadvantageous, since a damping is desirable especially in this area of the hand.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a bicycle handle, in which the comfort is improved in particular in the region of a clamping member.
  • the bicycle handle according to the invention has an inner sleeve, which is surrounded by a handle element, which is made in particular of softer material than the inner sleeve. Furthermore, the inner sleeve has a clamping region, which in particular is completely surrounded by a clamping element.
  • the clamping element is used for clamping the fastening of the bicycle handle on the bicycle handlebar.
  • the clamping element is at least partially surrounded in particular in the circumferential direction by a protective sleeve. Over the width, ie in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle handle, the protective sleeve preferably extends over the entire width of the clamping element.
  • the protective sleeve is connected to the inner sleeve. It is particularly preferred that the protective sleeve and the inner sleeve are integrally formed and are thus preferably made of the same material. Preferably, the protective sleeve surrounds in the circumferential direction at least partially the clamping region of the inner sleeve. This results in a slot-shaped receptacle for the clamp designed in particular as a clamp.
  • the protective sleeve is surrounded by a soft material.
  • this is the same material as the material of the grip element, wherein it is particularly preferred that a surrounding the protective sleeve member is integrally formed with the handle member.
  • this element made of softer material firmly with the protective sleeve, so that a deformation or everting inwards when moving the hand is avoided.
  • the handle element is integrally formed together with the protective sheath in particular completely surrounding the neck or portion of the handle member and made by molding.
  • the protective sleeve integrally formed with the inner sleeve is encapsulated together with a softer material.
  • the handle member is formed together with the approach, which surrounds the protective sleeve.
  • the overmolding also has the advantage that a firm connection of the overmolded material, i. the gripping element and the corresponding approach with the inner sleeve and the protective sleeve can be realized.
  • the clamping element is preferably formed like a clamp and surrounds the inner sleeve in the clamping region preferably completely. This can be done on the bicycle handlebar in a simple way a clamping fastening of the inner sleeve.
  • the clamping element preferably has two mutually spaced lugs for receiving a clamping means such as a screw. These in the mounted state, in particular outwardly away from the handlebars away lugs have in particular a threaded and a screw head or the like receiving bore. By spacing the two approaches, a slot is formed between them. The width of the slot can be reduced by the clamping means, so that a clamping fastening of the inner sleeve takes place on the bicycle handlebar.
  • the inner sleeve in the clamping region has a slot to facilitate the clamping fastening on the bicycle handlebar.
  • the clamping means is designed such that it is arranged completely within the two approaches. This is especially already given, even if the clamping means is not fixed yet.
  • the screw head which may be formed, for example, as a hexagon socket or as Allen, completely disposed within one of the two approaches. This has the considerable advantage that the clamping element in the preassembled state, ie already with inserted clamping means, can be arranged in the clamping area.
  • the clamping element can thus be inserted in a preferred embodiment from the outside into the slot, which is formed between the clamping region of the inner sleeve and the protective sleeve. This can be done in particular even if the handle is already completely encapsulated with softer material that forms the gripping element and the protective sleeve in particular completely surrounds. As a result, the assembly is considerably simplified. Also, for example, an opening in the region of the grip element which surrounds the protective sleeve, be very small, since only an Allen wrench must be inserted through a particular circular opening to fix the clamping means, ie in particular tighten the screw.
  • the protective sleeve surrounds the clamping element completely depending on the configuration of the clamping element. If the clamping element is a clamping element Approaches for receiving a clamping means, it is preferred that the protective sleeve completely surrounds the clamping element with the exception of these approaches.
  • a clamping element for example, two mutually rotatable, for example, slotted rings, which also have a thickening, can be provided. By twisting occurs a deformation and thus jamming. Such a clamping element could then be completely surrounded by the protective sleeve.
  • the protective sleeve is connected to the inner sleeve and in particular is formed in one piece.
  • the protective sleeve and the inner sleeve made of the same material in particular one step.
  • the protective sleeve surrounds the inner sleeve in the clamping area or the mounted clamping element at least over half of the circumference, in particular at least over 3 ⁇ 4 of the circumference.
  • the lugs are arranged in the provision of a clamping element with lugs for receiving the clamping means.
  • the protective cover extends over the entire width of the clamping region or over the entire width of the mounted clamping element.
  • the clamping element is thus arranged completely between the clamping region of the inner sleeve and the protective sleeve, with the exception of the possibly provided approaches for receiving the clamping means.
  • the grip element has a shoulder which completely surrounds the protective sleeve in the longitudinal direction as well as in the circumferential direction.
  • the area or the approach of the handle element surrounds the approaches of the clamping element with.
  • a continuous surface is realized which consists exclusively of the softer material of the grip element. This has the advantage that, even if the handle is used on the outside in the area of the clamping element, no Gripping the clamping element itself is done, but always a correspondingly soft material is gripped. This increases the gripping comfort.
  • a slot open to an outer side of the bicycle handle or to an edge of the bicycle handle is preferably arranged.
  • the clamping element can be inserted from the outside in a simple manner, in particular with preassembled clamping means. Since it is particularly preferred that the clamping element and the protective sleeve are completely surrounded by the handle element or the associated with the handle element approach, thereby holding the clamping member can be improved before fixing in this slot-shaped receptacle. This is the case in particular when the clamping element has lugs for receiving the clamping means, since the lugs come into direct contact with the material of the clamping element.
  • the inner sleeve of the bicycle handle and preferably also the protective sleeve are formed of a harder material than the handle element and in particular also the protective sleeve covering approach of the handle member.
  • a material in this case for example, PP or PP-GF is suitable.
  • the material of the handle element itself is made softer, for example, TPE can be used.
  • the manufacture of the gripping element and of the gripping element preferably connected to the neck, which surrounds the protective cover and the clamping element, by encapsulation. This results in a good connection between the outer surface of the inner sleeve and the gripping element or the outer surface of the protective cover and the gripping element.
  • the bicycle handle according to the invention has an inner sleeve 10.
  • This has a substantially cylindrical inner side 12, whose diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of a bicycle handlebar, so that the inner sleeve 10 can be plugged onto a bicycle handlebar in a simple manner.
  • a clamping portion 14 is provided at the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment.
  • a clamping element 16 in particular in the form of a clamp (16), is used for clamping the bicycle handle on the bicycle handlebar.
  • FIG. 2 The inner sleeve 10 is connected via a web-shaped connecting element 18 with a protective sleeve 20, in particular integrally formed therewith.
  • the protective sleeve 20 surrounds this in particular more than 3 ⁇ 4 of the circumferential direction (arrow 11 in FIG. 3 ).
  • a slot 22 of constant width is formed between the protective sleeve 20 and the inner sleeve 10 in the clamping region 14.
  • Both the inner sleeve 10 and the protective sleeve 20 are surrounded by a handle member 24 made of softer material, in particular encapsulated.
  • the bicycle handle in particular in the clamping region 14 on its outer side on a soft material.
  • a protective sleeve 20 it is possible in the clamping region to connect the material of the grip element 24, that is to say in particular a shoulder 26 of the grip element 24, firmly to an outer side of the protective sleeve 20.
  • the projection 26 of the grip element 24 also has a radially inward-pointing projection 27. This surrounds an outer side 21 of the protective sleeve or bears against the outer side 21 of the protective sleeve 20.
  • the clamping element is formed like a clamp in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the clamping element 16 ( FIG. 2 ) therefore has a part-tubular portion 28, which is connected at its ends with a lug 30.
  • the thickening forming approach 30 serves to receive a clamping means such as a screw.
  • one of the two lugs 30 has a thread 32 and the opposite lug 30 has a recess 34 for, in particular, a complete reception of a screw head.
